I think I found the answer, and even though posting the original is a bit embarrassing, I will leave this thread up so as to allow others to know something I did not know...

"We’re getting a lot of e-mail this weekend about an executive order issued on Friday afternoon by President Obama titled “National Defense Resources Preparedness.” While the timing of the EO is curious — why send it out on a Friday afternoon when an administration is usually trying to sneak bad news past the media? — the general impact of it is negligible. This EO simply updates another EO (12919) that had been in place since June 1994, and amended several times since."

"Why the update? If one takes a look at EO 12919, the big change is in the Cabinet itself. In 1994, we didn’t have a Department of Homeland Security, for instance, and some of these functions would naturally fall to DHS. In EO 12919, the FEMA director had those responsibilities, and the biggest change between the two is the removal of several references to FEMA (ten in all). Otherwise, there aren’t a lot of changes between the two EOs, which looks mainly like boilerplate.

In fact, that’s almost entirely what it is."

So, again..will leave it here to further embarrass me but perhaps there is someone other than me that learns stuff sometimes on here and may find this interesting.

I still do not understand why no press release and no coverage by the MSM.

They have to know it will be all over the net.
